What Do The labels mean?
nilläva pure Madagascar Vanilla Products
nilläva’s pure premium Madagascar vanilla bean products are labeled as 1X, 10X, and 40X for the extracts and alcohol-free extracts are 5%, 12%, 26%, or 40% (commercial accounts only).
These identifiers are for the strength references. 1X is the “standard” natural strength. Vanilla extracts are not all equal in their strength. The potency (strength) of each brand will be determined by the process used to extract the vanillin from the natural bean pods and the alcohol used for the extraction.
